Review of Florence’s Pitti Palace, Boboli Gardens, Villa Bardini access, museums, eBooks, ticket value, and practical visiting tips.

“Rome was heaving (April) for Jubilee year, Easter week & Pope’s death - even so we did not need to have booked entry tickets in advance. No queues first thing, plenty of space in galleries to move around and see detail.

Review of Florence’s Pitti Palace, Palatine Gallery, and Boboli Garden tour, with art highlights, practical tips, value advice, and accessibility notes.

“We saw the Pitti Palace, Boboli Garden and² Palatine Gallery on 4 Oct 2025 with our wonderful guide. As part of the same ticket we were then able to explore the 'modern' art exhibit on the 2nd floor, the exhibit of other artefacts and the display of Italian fashion across the last few centuries. Brilliant and beautiful. Our guide was an expert, able to talk about what was in front of us and the history associated. We discovered places and descriptions and information we would otherwise have missed. It was one of our favuorite tours in Italy.”

“Pitti Palace, Boboli Gardens, and Pallatina Gallery is a must see!! One could spend more than a day seeing all there is to see!! The gardens are stunning as well as the gallery. I’ve never seen such beautiful chandeliers as those in the palace. There are a lot of stairs to climb in the palace as well as the gardens. But so worth it!! Our tour guide did a wonderful job!”
